The last two times I posted a help-me-decide-my-project survey like this, y'all picked The Evolution of Trust and The Wisdom and/or Madness of Crowds. So, I trust your exquisite taste! ;)

Superthanks,~ Nicky

misc updates:

Merci beaucoup to everyone who recommended French comics to me on my last post! Although, heh, honestly at my current level, I'm struggling to finish reading Babar, Le Petit Éléphant.

And actually, I have two book recommendations for you in return! They're fairly short books, too: 1) Tribe by Sebastian Junger, on war, disaster, and our human need to be needed by each other. 2) The End of Education by Neil Postman, on the old & new purposes (the "ends", ha ha wordplay) of public schools. Despite the wildly different topics, they both hit a theme I care a lot about: the human need for meaning, for purpose – and how modern society is horribly lacking in it.
